Why does WAC-720 constantly connect to Facebook?

Why does WAC-720 constantly connect to Facebook?

I have 4 WAC-720s configured in ensemble mode.  "Register with Facebook Wi-Fi" is set to "no".  Yet every minute each of them attempts a connection to:

  1. m.facebook.com 
  2. static.xx.fbcdn.net
  3. scontent-sit4-1.xx.fbcdn.net

Why is this happening and how do I stop it?

Model: WAC720|2x2 Wireless-AC Access Points

Hi Russell,

 

What is the firmware that you are running? Did you tried the latest firmware?
